This data set portrays the Congressional Districts of the United States for the 108th Congress. Lines coincident with Congressional District boundaries were extracted from the existing National Atlas County Boundaries layer. In areas lacking coincident geometry, lines from State data sets or from an Election Data Services data set were integrated into the file. This is an update of the January, 2003 data set.

These data are intended for geographic display and analysis at the national level, and for large regional areas. The data should be displayed and analyzed at scales appropriate for 1:2,000,000-scale data. No responsibility is assumed by the U.S. Geological Survey in the use of these data.
The spatial features of the National Atlas county boundaries layer (ATLAS-CNTY01) were compared against the State data sets and the Election Data Services data set to identify lines that were part of Congressional District boundaries. These lines were placed in a new file. In areas where there were no existing National Atlas features that were coincident with the Congressional District boundaries, the boundaries from the State data sets or the Election Data Services data set were extracted and added to the file. The list of members was updated with information for the 108th Congress from CD01_108. Additionally, the dataset was "clipped" to the southern and eastern states with ESRI ArcMap 8.2.
